A depth imaging system comprises a depth camera input to receive a depth map representing an observed scene imaged by a depth camera, the depth map including a plurality of pixels and a depth value for each of the plurality of pixels. The depth imaging system further comprises a tag identification module to identify a 3D tag imaged by the depth camera and represented in the depth map, the 3D tag comprising one or more depth features, each of the one or more depth features comprising one or more characteristics recognizable by the depth camera. The depth imaging system further comprises a tag decoding module to translate the one or more depth features into machine-readable data.

Encoding data in depth patterns

User profile replication may be provided. First, at least one modification to at least one user profile property may be received at a first service provider. A user profile change log may be updated in response to receiving the at least one modification to the at least one user profile property. Then the at least one modification to the at least one user profile property may be identified at the first service provider. Identifying the at least one modification to the at least one user profile property at the first service provider may comprise retrieving the at least one modification to the at least one user profile property from the user profile change log. Next, the identified at least one modification to the at least one user profile property may be replicated at a second service provider. The first service provider and the second service provider may be geographically separate.

User profile replication

Various embodiments are disclosed that relate to detecting mobile operator networks. For example, one disclosed embodiment provides a method of operating a catalog server to which a mobile computing device connects via a computer network path that traverses a mobile operator network. The method may include receiving data from a mobile device, the data including a locale and a mobile operator identifier stored in memory on the mobile device; searching a database to find a store based on the mobile operator identifier and the locale; if a store is found, populating settings based on the store; and sending configuration information to the mobile device based on the settings.

Detecting mobile operator networks

Providing enterprise and targeted content to a personalized portal at a client device in a distributed environment. An administrator managing the distributed environment defines a plurality of workspace pages to be displayed to a user via the portal. The portal also includes a personalized page. The administrator determines workspace content to be provided to the user on the workspace pages via the portal, and the workspace content includes a set of predetermined content parameters. Targeted content is selected from the workspace content as a function of user profile data and the set of predetermined content parameters. The arranged targeted content and personalized content are rendered on the pages via the portal.
